Naked Farmers raise funds and awareness in and for Young

According to one of the organisers Ellie Burstal over the past two years the group have raised a total of $10,000 for Margaret House in Young.

"We raised just over $4000 this year which makes it $10,000 over the two years we've done it," Ellie said.

President of Margaret House in Young Anna Hayes, has once again thanked Ellie, Chris, Chontelle and everyone else involved.

According to Anna the crew at Margaret House are exceedingly grateful for the donation.

Margaret House is a part of the Young Crisis Accommodation Centre and is a place were local women and children can seek refuge from domestic violence.

Margaret House was originally purchased from the donations of the local community who rallied together to get the women's refuge up and running.

Over the years it continues to be supported by locals like The Naked Farmer Calendar who fundraise and help to support the organisation.

Ellie and Chris Carrie joined forces with local photographer Chontelle Perrin and other volunteers to create both the 2019 and 2020 calendars.

The calendar was first created last year to bring a focus to men's mental health with Ellie and Chris hoping it would spark a conversation and encourage men to seek help if they need it.

"Our aim is to try and encourage farmers and people living in rural areas that talking about mental health issues and seeking help is imperative as scary as it may seem at the time," Ellie said.
